    Alone In The Dark - Uwe Boll Strikes Back

    See... House of the Dead was his 'edgy student film,' and Alone in the Dark was his 'more mature, educated sophomore film.' Hunter will undoubtly be his 'masterpiece,' and by that I mean, after these first two steaming piles of dung, he might actually create something vaguely resembling a...

    Adventurers: "We don't want your kind around here."

    In settings that emulate the feel of the X-Men, you have to come at it from a different angle, though - it should never be about the feelings of the general populace, because people taken as a whole hate and fear you. In settings that have this "misunderstood, hated, and feared hero" backdrop...

    Mixing grapple attempts with natural attacks

    You're welcome... :D

    Improved monk attack

    I've been reading through the FAQ trying to find such a reference, but I haven't so far. I've found snippets that allude to this being their point of view about the matter, but none that outright says it.

    Mixing grapple attempts with natural attacks

    According to these sections of text, the creature should be able to intersperse its grapple attempts, as long as the natural weapon being used is capable of performing the special attack action required (in this case grapple). Remember that monsters do not gain iterative attacks based on BAB -...

    Improved monk attack

    Much of what I've been reading in the FAQ and the SRD would lead me to believe that officially it would be ruled as not a natural weapon for the purposes of the feat. The answers to monks that have natural weapons (such as centaurs) in the FAQ seem to paint a definite distinction between a...

    Illusionary floor pit trap, what's the saving throw?

    As a continuation - with proper set up, if this spell were used on a suspension-style bridge to make a false plank, and the plank following the "pit" were specifically weakened, you could make it nearly impossible to make the Climb check by simply weakening the board in question so that it...

    Stupid epic level question

    You're right, it won't happen - why would WoTC re-edit, re-correct, and re-print the ELH when they've (presumably) already done this, and then took those rules apart and spread them into the DMG and the Complete series of books? Why would they make one book when they've already gotten a large...

    Illusionary floor pit trap, what's the saving throw?

    As this seems to simply be an application of the illusory wall spell, the following should answer this question: If the creature possesses an ability to sense illusions or objects (or the lack thereof), then it can detect the trap pretty much fail-safe. If not, then it does not receive any...

    Improved monk attack

    I'm with hong - if the monk's fists aren't natural weapons (as it states they are in the description), then what are they? Allowing this feat for a monk is really not much worse than allowing Monkey Grip for weapon-using characters - a monk can get pretty much the same effect from a enlarging...

    New FAQ contradicts itself?

    FAQ making me... angry... FAQ not like me when I'm angry... grrrkkk.... ARRRGHHH!!! MORDANE SMASH FAQ!!! Aren't the above basically undoing all the good done by the "Rules of the Game" columns on Wizards? Maybe the guys doing those columns should be writing AND editing AND RE-editing the FAQ?

    New FAQ contradicts itself?

    Hmm.... *thwacks head against wall until blood flows freely* Now... that feels better. Ahem... I'd think the rules would be according to the first sentence, not the text examples; it would seem that using shapechange would otherwise create serious liability issues for the caster, and not be...

    How to resist mind control and mind reading?

    I thought this was what the cheese helmet was for... :D From my POV, I've always gone with the Will save representing your mind thwarting off a mentally tangible intrusive force.

    What happens when a PC gains a template w/ level adjustment?

    There were rules for such occurences in Savage Species. Now, this supplement is still 3.0, but those rules have not been updated to 3.5E as far as I know, so they are still the last 'official' word on how such things are handled.

    Stupid epic level question

    Thank you for the DMG quote - I had to go SRD at work... finding stuff in there is always hard for me. You're welcome to feel however you like, but this is in the Rules Forum, so it's about how the rules work as written. Personally, I agree with you - it does seem to penalize monster...

    Stupid epic level question

    Actually, because the 3.5E DMG came AFTER the ELH, the material in the DMG supercedes and updates the epic level rules. ECL replaces character level - once your ECL reaches 21, you're an epic character, meaning you start picking up epic attack and save bonuses instead of class-based attack...
